I wouldn't dare try to influence you to bring in their birds Tony

Each and every fancier has their own choices about where and how (or not) they spend their money

As it happens i'm just doing the sales list for Robbie Wilton and I see that many of his best 0-250 miles performances in the last 2 yeas have been from Stock introduced from Gordon Bros and Sons.

May be Mike but in 20 yrs iv seen 1 grizzle in all the clubs that could race iv never seen a chocolate or a yellow in fact iv never seen a yellow get home for lad that kept them ,,
Iv seen odd shalie n odd mosiac but can count one one hand in 20 years.

Ant I'd say that over 85% of pigeons raced are blue or cheq. Is it any wonder that those two colours produce the majority of the winners? And your right you don't see many chocs or yellows at marking and very few ever win because very few get raced. Grizzles are more common and have been winning races for many years, there even more common since the kittles arrived. A fancier local to me had a decent yellow years ago it won many cards over the channel. There was a post on chat where somebody said that near white pigeons never win, but I could name 3 that have won 1st Open NFC.

You know, if i was racing now the one thing i wouldn’t consider would be the colour

The performances would be paramount, and a pigeons colour and eye (for instance) would have zero influence on me

The naming of youngsters bred for sale doesn’t do much for me . I guess it sells though
I also don’t even read the advert if the loft doesn’t race they can have the best pigeons in the world and breed loads of winners but if they don’t race I move on .
I don’t understand all the strains and names I would have to ask Mike
I use to get the Belgian papers when I was about 19 that’s the last time I looked a Belgian result so i would be useless at knowing who is best currently

I try to look what the blokes won over 3 years in the uk more in old bird races and go from there to check things out
Not that I’m much of a buyer anyway
To skint or to tight one of the two
